the proper design, but informed Miss
Huntington that he could not get the
correct blue ,yitiiout sending 10 st. Pc

minister of war must sanction the ship

and the cloth was sent to Dresden.-De,

The pie season is now at hand and we
are experiencing not little difficulty in
meeting the demands Of our customers,
Just as soon as the weather gets little
cool the country pumpkins come in
and everybody wants pumpkin pie
And it's the same way with the
mince pie, that indigestible, death deal
ing compound. You ought to see the
pies we sell in day. Five hundrcd3
Well, 1000 would be more nearly like
the number we cock daily. Winter is
our best season. Just as soon as the
theaters open we begin to have a thriv-
ing pie trade. The midnight rush is
something that keeps us hus.iing about
on our feet until they get sore. It's a
curious thing, but the pie trade comes IN
nearly always during the night. People
come in and want something hot. They
want it quickly, too. The pie is just
suited to their demands. Restaurant

A summer hotel to be built at Maine
watering place is to hear the historic
name of the st. AspinGUid. ST. Aspin-
quid was a famous chief Of the Paw
tucket tribe of Indians, and was born in
New York i'll May. 1888. Under the
preaching of John Elliot he became con
yerted in early life, and laying aside his
tomahawk and all other implements of
savagery, he traversed ''from Atlantic to
the California sea, pointing out to the
red men the way to the happy hunting
ground and the home of the Great Spirit.
Aspinquid was an object Of veneration
wherever he went. In 1852 lie died at
the ripe old age of "a years, and was
buried with great pomp on the summit OF
Mount Agamenticus near York harbor.
History records that in honor of the
departed spirit no less than GIL wild
animals were here gathered together, the
contribution of thousands Of warriors
from every part Of the country, the COL
lection including so bears, Sc moose and
80 buffalo, 800 mink, 900 muskrats,
482 foxes. 65 wildcats, liz rattlasnakes
and wolves, catamOuntS, raCcOons, offers,
beavers, ferrets and so on. S.. Aspin-
quid's tombstone was TO be seen UP tC
1880, and inscribed on it in Indian lore
was the following:
Present, Useful; Absent, Wanted;
Living, Desired; Died, Lamented.

Uncle Tom, in the Shelby household.
had nothing to fear but that sudden loss
Of wealth might work for him a change
of masters; but Uncle Tom of the tene-
ment has TO fear his masters growing
rich; has to fear that the tinkle of in
creasing ducats in his pocket will make
him rejoice in and increase the extor-
ton that thrivcs so well on tenants who
have forgotten TO expect rights. The
southern Uncle Tom had his ways of
earning; of laying aside, if only penny
by penny, something. The northern
Uncle Tom never can save; there is not
enough from day to day to live even de-
Gently; and one break in a days work,
ono hour of sickness in father, mother or
child leaves a gap that il seems aaif never
again they could bridge over, They never
can "catch up"
The southern Tom had his family per-
haps torn frcm his arms, never again 10
lay eyes on daughter or son. Think you
that the northern Tom can keep his
family about him? As the slave Eliza
clasped her boy to her breast and ran
away that she might not have to give
him up, so slips from the tenement house
every day some Eliza with child in her
arms, not TO keep him, but to give him
up, to lay him in the crib ut the foundling
hospital, whence he win be taken by
others, TO be known hereafter not as
johnny" but as "No. 22,T1G," or to
give him to benevolent agents who will
find HIM homo in the west. Saddcst
reflection of all is to think OF the callous-
ness that misery produces. OF all tho
pathetic stories you can tell of little Neil
or Oliver Twist, none so impresses me
with the horrors Of abject poverty as I
am impressed on hearing a mother, when
| tell hor l am glad her sick baby is
better, say calmly: 'Lor', ycsl Wurn't
it a mercy it didu't diet It's Just orful
TO have children dyin' now, when it costs
so high to bury 'em. Alice Yelling

Boston has brought forth a new craze.
Russomania succeeds Anglomania There
is not a whisper remaining of the Shelley
prattle," " which was led entertaingly by
the fair sculptor who is now passing his
honeymoon in an Italian villa Browning
clubs have lost their novelty, and for
those who desire something new and
strange no better opportunity is offered
than the pursit Of Russian subjects. I'm
deferred by the fact that Russian English
dictionaries are very incomplete and that
the Russian includes 0,000 words taken
from other languages, many students have
already undertaken to master the curious
tongue. 1t is more easy to study the liter
ature through translations, especially
when several lecturers are ready to III
struct clubs and point the way from
Gegol through Turgenief, Pisemski. De-
stoyeoski to Tolstoi. A club ON the back
bay is already formed for the study of
Russian literature, especially the novels,
and other clubs are receiving instruction
through papers which all Bostonians who
have Travelled in Russia either have pre-.
pared OF are preparing.-Bufralo News.

Winter has setin with unusual severity
all along the northern slopes OF the Iics-
engebuge. The transition from summer
weather TO harsh winter was most sudden.
Within twcnty-four hours the thcrmomC-

grade. According 30 usual arrangements
the telegraph service would bo closed on
sept. 80 in the higher parts Of the ranges

days The official period. In a single night
tie snowfall put an end to telegraphic
communication, Ice wrcath5 some inches
doup hung from the poles and even the
wires. Great destruction OF apparatus
was thC result; wires were broken down.

e.ruction by overturning telegraph poles.

A real gentleman is not SO fastidicus in
his tastes in private or public life as The
fellow who is trying to cut the proper
caper in all his actions. One of the lat,
ter class will never hesitate to coll q
waiter and demand glass of clean
water should a hy unfortunately disturb
its surface. If the same nice discrimina-
ton was always exercised, such fellows
would die Of starvation. Every article Of
food is detiled in some way before it
reaches the consumer. Cigars, which
have their wrappers sealed with Chinese
lips, wine that has been pressed out with
naked feet, fruits that have been stored
in filthy cellars, are taken without c0m-

One of our leading army engineers has
brought before the engineers classes of
late an experiment of startling nature.
Wonderful results are promised. It is a
monster magnet made of two ROdman
guns, which are connected at the breech.
Around them is wound about twenty
miles Of submarine cable. The cable is
some that has been used in the torpedo
service. It is wound and fastened in a
substantial manner, making a powerful
electro magnet when electricity is ap-
piled that shows strange results. For
instance, bar of railroad iron thirty feet
long, if placed in the open cannon 5
mouth, cannot be drawn out by all the
many men that can grasp it. Another
instance of the strength of this big mag
net was illustrated Saturday with a $50
pound cannon ball The shot was placed
in the mouth Of one of the e-cannons, the
negative side of the magnet. On revers-
ing the electric current it fell from its
position, but was attracted to the oppO-
site cannon and chung to its side. The
positive current was then reversed alter
nately with the negative, and the heavy
cannon bail played between the two can
mons like 9 tacI, between the poles Of a
toy magnet Bridgeport Comm Cor.

DR.. GATLING'S NEW GUN.
A Weapon for Police Use That Would
Decimate Mob in Two Minutes.

Decimate a Mob in Two Minutes.
DR.. r. j. Gatling, the inventor of the
famous gun.which bears his name, has
invented another instrument of destruc-
ton which he calls the ''police gum 1t
was on exhibition the other day, and an
interested group of army officers and
newspaper men studied its mechanism
and listened to the inventors explana-
ton of its virtues. 1t is a brass gun,
weighing seventy-eight pounds, and is
mounted on tripod, the whole arrange
ment weighing only 149 pounds. 1t is
capable of firing 1000 shots minute
The general working principle of the
gun is the same as that of the gun which
bears DR.. Gatling's name and is SO widely
known. The improvement is in the
method of feeding. In the police gun a
magazine, holding sixty-two cartridges
and looking like the hopper of corn
shelter, is set up on end at right angle
on the top of the brass barrel. The
turning of the handle by the cannoneer
drops the cartridges into six revolving
barrels within the cannon.
AS the barrels revolve a lock with a
spiral spring catches each cartridge and a
small needle in the lock strikes the per-
cussion cap, exploding it. The next in
stant an extractor catches the empty
shell, and following a spiral groove, it is
disfodged from the gun. When one
magazine is empty another stands ready
to take its place. AS the empty shells
fall in stream from the orifce, it looks
for all the world like Il country corn
shelter with the denuded cobs dropping
to the floor as the farm hand turns the
crank. By long lever the cannoneer can
with his left hand change the range of
the gun, shoot up or down or sideways,
while with the right hand he turns the
crank that puts the stream of cartringes
in motion.
1--WE can clear the streets of a mob
add housetops as WELL said DR.. Gatiing,
peaceful looking old gentleman, with
spectacles and a snowy beard. ''The
gun will kill man a mile off, though
1000 yards is the best range. We don T
want to see our cities overrun by mob
as was Pittsburg, Why, no man would
stand in range of that gun. If be did he
would be foolish, to say the least. - New

hfeissonier's Paralysis CT the Thumb

NJ. Meissonier, the French painter is
suffering from paralysis in the right
thumb. He was working as usual in his
studio at Poissy on the great water color
which is to be entitled ''1807," when his
thumb began to tingle, as though becom-
ing benumbed, and remained in this
state, notwithstanding hard rubbing. A
doctor was sent for. He spoke as en-
couragingly as possible, but told the artist
he was having first warning of paralysis
and had no chance but in long rest

How Ocean Wrecks Are DESTROYED.

HOW occah WIZ are lJeSbTOyeU
The almost daily reports by arriving
vessels of passing derelict and abandoned
vessels at sea might lead the landsman to
suppose that wrecks are more numerous
than is actually the case. But, in fact, a
single wreck is reported many times, and
frequently in a wide change of position.
1t may be seen today on one part Of the
coast and tomorrow may be many miles
from that position, as it drifts about with
the current of the Gulf stream, or is
driven long distance by the winds.
1t is only few weeks ago that the
cruiser Atlanta towed into the capes of
Delaware a dangerous derelict which had
been drifting about off the coast for
weeks, and though special attention had
been given by passing vessels to report
this wreck, in order that the information
might lead to finding and destroying it,
it was a long time before it could be
placed. Often the wrecks that are re-
ported at the photographic office lead to
an extensive and unavailing search only
because they have been carried so far
from the reported position by winds and
currents that the searching vessel could
not find them. When it is possible to
tow them into port this is done; other
wise they are blown up with gun cotton
tOrped0es. One wreck seen on the lower
edge Of the Banks of Newfoundland on
Aug 28, in latitude 43 degs. north, lon
2itude IS degs. east, had drifted to lati-
tude 80 degs. north, longitude GA degs.
west, on Oct. Z, distance of 600 miles,
and had been repolsed four times.-New

Ballston is one of the centers from
which wood pulp manufacturing is car
ried on. In talking about that process
Tor utilizing wood Mr.. Ii. j. Medbury
said: 1T may sound strange to you, but
they now make iron pipe out of wood
pulp. That is to say, by processes in use
they are making a tubing out of wood
pulp that has many advantages over iron
for gas and water pipes, etc. There is a
factory at Mechanicsville, but the adop-
ton of the woed pulp pipe by the West
inghouse people at Pittsburg for natural
gas and other purposes has made it neces-
sary to construct a largo factory. 1t may
be put up at Canajoharie. The pipe is
